Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825
Vista
Hi,
I am running into a weird problem during Restore Disk use in a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825.
I have done previous Restores on this laptop. There is no problem with the Hard Drive, or the CD/DVD ROM Drive. I used the first Restore Disk with no problem, the laptop automatically restarted. I put the second Restore CD in, and rebooted ( Boot being correct: boot from CD ).
This laptop has never been on a network, and set to boot from LAN.
I get the Toshiba Screen and then the following:
For Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-E Ethernet
PCE-E61: Media Test Failure, Check Cable
PCE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
( I cannot find any way to get Restore CD 2 to run, been at it for hours now! )
I tested with every boot option, just to see if there was any change....none.
This is strange: when I tested with Restore Disk 1 in the drive, it runs ( which means it is recognizing the CD ROM Drive ); of course I cannot do anything on that CD because everything has been wiped already, and I do not have mouse or directional arrows function......
Can anyone help me to get Restore CD 2 to install?????
Thanks!
